The Digital, Inclusive, Virtual, and Equitable Research Training in Mental Health Platform (DIVERT Mental Health) is a transdisciplinary mental health training platform dedicated to changing the course of mental health research and practice in Canada with children, youth, and their families. We are primarily funded by a multi million-dollar investment from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and enabled by a large investment in digital infrastructure and expertise from IBM Canada.
DIVERT sets out to harness the knowledge and expertise of a diverse range of multi-sectoral educators so we can all learn together through online experiences, national mentorship groups based on lived experiences, research collaborations (with patients, families, industries, Non-Governmental Organizations [NGOs], and health care organizations), annual in-person meetings, and the future evolution of a certificate program.
